The Oppressed Peoples of Scuffleopolis is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by A Hungry Bear with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.496 billion Scufflers are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Industry and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Environment and Education aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Den. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Scuffling economy, worth a remarkable 3,647 trillion Saltine Crackers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 347,495 Saltine Crackers, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,760,980 per year while the poor average 10,488, a ratio of 263 to 1.
The nation's orphanages and maternity wards have been nicknamed 'the Killbot Factories', freighter lifeboats have been replaced by state of the art marker buoys so divers can recover the cargo after they sink, Harry Potter books are banned, and the army's use of chemical weapons leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Scuffleopolis's national animal is the Potato, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is God Is Dead And The Bear Ate Him.
Scuffleopolis is ranked 293,893rd in the world and 836th in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 2.89 law-abiding acts per hour.
